IMPROVEMENT, IN PUMPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 169,999, dated November16,1875; application filed September '7, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. LANEY, of Lithopolis, in the county ofFairfield and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Pumps; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable othersskilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters ofreference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improved combined force and lift pump,particularly adapted for raising water from deep wells, or to a greatelevation above the level of the water, the nature of which will befully explained by reference to the drawings, in which- Figure 1represents a perspective view, and Fig. 2 a vertical section, of acombined force and lift pump constructed according to my invention.

In each of the views similar letters are em ployed'to indicatecorresponding parts wherever they occur.

A represents the main casting or frame of the combined pump, in whichare formed two cylinders, a a, the lower ends of each of which areincommunication with apassage,B,formed in a pipe or tube, 13, connected toor forming part of the lower end of the casting or framing A. Thecylinders a c are each provided at their lower ends with circular valvesa a affixed centrally by means of screws a over a cylindrical seat, a,formed with a series of perforations, a arranged in a ring around thecenter of the seats M, in position to be opened or closed by the valvesa. pistons working in the cylinders a, a These pistons O O are formedcylindrical, and at their upper ends are provided with headsO, which areperforated at c,- and provided with circular valves D, which are held inplace by bear- .ings d, screwed into the ends of the pistons 0.

To each. of the bearings 01, by a pin-joint, is attached the lower endof a connecting-rod, E, the upper end of which is formed so as toembrace one of the cranksf of a crank-shaft, F, mounted so as to revolvein bearings G, formed on or affixed to the upper edge of the casting A,the upper half of the bearings G, in Fig.

(1 O are a pair of p 1, being removed in order to show the remainder ofthe device more clearly. On one end of the shaft F is mounted afly-wheel, H, provided with a suitable handle, h, or a drivingwheel, forthe purpose of operating the pump,

while at its opposite end the shaft F is fitted tions, as shown by Fig.2. The valve-seats c of the cylinders a, a and L are each formedcylindrical, and turned so as to fit sufficiently close to thecylinders, that they shall not be moved or become displaced in theWorking of the apparatus, but are so fitted that they may any time becapable of removal or replacement for repairs or cleaning of the valves.The piston'cylinder L is connected to the lower end of the pipe or tube13 by means of a tube, M, the passage m of which is regulated by meansof the valve M, which is arranged toopen from the cylinder L into thepipe or tube B. The lower end of the pipe or tube B is closed by meansof a plate or cover, N, while the lower end of the cylinder L is open toor is provided with a suitable pipe or tube, connecting with the waterin the well or tank from which the water is to be raised.

The operation of the device is as follows: The shaft F being caused torevolve, the cranks f and I will, by means of the connecting-rods E andK, cause the pistons O O and Z to be moved alternately up and down intheir cylinders, by which means water will be first caused to rise intothe force-pump L, and from thence be driven into the cylinders a. a fromwhich it will be lifted by the pistons O O, and caused to flow away intoa suitable tank or receiver by means of a pipe or spigot, '0.

Having thus described my invention, I would have it understood that 1 donot claim, broadly, a combined force and lift pump; but

What I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- A combinedforce and lift pump, embodying in its construction a pair of cylinders,a a
